Tough nut to crack Bruce, the NT code uses 7, funny the fxst3cci doesn't use EMAs on the es. On NT some things are incredibly easy to do, you won't be burdened by many restriction. The language is more complex but also more powerful. And sometimes I could just hit my head against the next wall:crap:, because something doesn't perform as expected, it's not all a piece of cake. Hope you'll have a great idea and that code will work like a charm . Cheers

Looks familiar walter, great that it works . I hope the calculations are correct, which is the more important part. Removing the price markers will make the chart even a bit better, easily done as described before. Cheers

Could be that the rainbow has a bug, if so could you please go to the main control of NT ->Tools->Output Window On the chart open the indicator list. If you get a lot of stuff on the window, please send it to me. If it's just a configuration thing, here's how it work, in the Plot's section of the indicator there are values like this: Band01 Band01Color Band02 . . . . . It draws a band when at least a value in band01 and band02 is present, and band2 must be higher than band1. Btw you can disable the price markers in the indicator configuration, if you're using lines to print the rainbow. Maybe my explanation isn't necessary, posted it just in case. You could also try to change the FillType to Line, which will less likely produce an error.

Here's the rainbox, also update on the bands because the ADX parameter disappeared. Calling it a day. Cheers VMARainbow_v1.0.zip VMABand_v1.2.zip

Difficult one except for the FantailVMA1: ADX:5, EMA:3, MA:2, Stoch:5 Usually the parameters are arragended alphabetically so i'd go with: ADX:5, BandIncrement: 4, BandEMAMin:2, BandEMAMax:100, EMA:5, MA:2, Stoch:5 When I'm debugging I am usually not in the best mood, so take it easy on me. Would have been easier to ask Walter.

Now here is the nicer version of the bands Enjoy VMABand_v1.1.zip

Unicorn, I can't say that I really got all what you are talking about. What I am doing in the bands indicator is calculation a base VMA and put the result into an EMA with varying periods, I don't think you do anything different looking at your code If there is anything I didn't get, just tell me. Cheers

Parameters are: Regular Faintail Parameters from which the Band will be calculated. BandMin: lowest EMA period BandMax: highest EMA period BandIncrement: Increment value of the EMA Period, between BandMin and BandMax Cheers

Gald you like walter. If anyone wants a rainbow, just add a few bands and play with the min/max values I'm trying to make it visually more appealing. Almost there.

For the inpatient, try this. I'll code a much nicer looking version soon though, let me know of problems. VMABand_v1.0.zip

Hold your horses Unicorn, one thing at a time. I like to have the FantailVMA1 just the way it is, so it can be reused in other indicators. I'll try to get a rainbow like thing coded today, however I'll start with a band and probably will eventually arrive at the ultimate rainbow. We'll see how things work out. Resources are limited. P.S.: Unfortunately I can't take your approach, it's a bit more complex on NT

Thanks unicorn, mixed up the values because I compared your functions parameter's order to the values on the chart. Looks much better now.

Hi Unicorn, Thanks for reviewing my code, you're right I got confused with LLV and HHV. NT hasn't got LLV or HHV, but ADX produces only 1 value per bar so it is not necessary. Otherwise can be done by MIN( Low, Period ), MAX( High, Period ). Fortunately the glitch does not produce very different results. Cheers and thanks FantailVMA1_1.4.zip

Cyan: ADX:3, EMA:3, Stoch:5, MA:2 Cyan: ADX:5, EMA:5, Stoch:10, MA:2 I haven't looked into the rainbow yet, the MA stays constant all the time. Don't think it will take much effort. Cheers

It uses C# which is not only for indicator programming, so it has more stuff but is also a little more complex but with less limitations. I haven't coded MT4 stuff but from what I have seen I prefer NT. Things that are missing in NT: using data from other time frames in an indicator Also the indicator on indicator thing is not possible to configure on the chart, but is easy to do in the code.

Hi all, I took unicorn's suggestion and moved the Vidya into a seperate indicator, that way it is more reusable as well. Walter: parameter's should be ADXPeriod:3, StochPeriod:5, EMAPeriod:3, MAPeriod:2 The MAPeriod is not configurable in unicorn's version, it's just for more final smoothing, but most likely the default value is fine. I had a minor bug in the Vidya as well. Here's also my first attempt of the sniper fx cci, i dunno if it is correct, hope someone can verify it. I used someone else's T3, dunno how well the results match up. Cheers FantailVMA1_v1.3.zip FXST3CCI_0.8.zip

Hi all, thanks for the explanation unicorn, although I didn't catch all of it. Hope I can reach such a level of insight into indicators somewhen. Cheers

Believe me I am not doing this to drive up my postings count Unicorn just modded the indicator, so I am trying to catch up. Parameter for the stochastics period added to the NT version. FantailVMA1_v1.2.zip

Glad to help Bruce, unfortunately I'll have to patch some of my indicators although I personally seldomly use the intra bar feature. Here's the NT version of the FantailVMA1 modified with unicorn's code again.

PYenner, my knowledge of how indicators work internally is very limited and my adv. maths skills are lacking unfortunately. I have a programming backgroung and just got into indicator development but I am a quick learner. I might have an idea though because I am facing a similar problem at the moment. My guess is that the value for the previous bar is stored in the variable. If it's calculated on the close of the bar its value is correct but if you use every tick then it will represent the value of the last tick and not the ema value of the last bar. Hope it makes sense. Cheers

PYenner: the xpMA 4 and 5 settings are actually the other way around if you look at the implementation Here's my first NT verison of unicorn's adaption of the FantailVMA1. Hopefully someone can test it and tell me if it works fine. Cheers

Love the music although it's not a happy song.

My pleasure walter, it is only a small contribution compared to what you are doing here. Since NT is my current platform it is not hard for me to be well motivated . My impression so far is that NT currently hasn't got a huge following, indicators are hard to come by, MT4 is the platform for FX. I simply don't like being dependent on a broker for data and only being able to trade a few markets, which is the case with MT4. Also EFX has their own platform and I also like NT's looks and features. Sorry for the detour from your thread, bit off topic:crap:. I'll keep you updated on the indicators, will try to update the Fantails and add the StepMA and Snipers's CCI in the near future. Cheers

It looks like a couple of hours work, the indicators themselves aren't very difficult to code. Unfortunately I am busy at the moment but I am sure I can post something in the next few days. Cheers

Hi FXTrader, thanks for your posts, that happens to me sometimes as well. I simply switch to advanced editor and then the posts seem to go through. Coincidence or solution? Dunno but works for me.
